Description
Introducing the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB Electric Pressure Washer, now redesigned in a sleek black finish while delivering the same powerful performance you expect.
Zoom on the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB
The AR Blue Clean BC111HSB is a light duty pressure washer, and enables:
- complete cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface prep for painting
- applying detergents and cleaning agents, and rinsing off surfaces
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
With a 12.5-amp universal motor, its aluminum axial (wobble plate) pump delivers a pressure of 1700 PSI (roughly 28 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.7 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). While these PSI and GPM values represent the maximum capabilities of the washer under specific conditions, it's important to note that under typical usage, the working pressure is 1300 PSI and the flow rate is 1.1 GPM, resulting in the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB's cleaning power of 1430 Cleaning Units.
The BC111HSB starts up effortlessly with a quick press of an ON/OFF switch, ensuring ease of use. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
The AR Blue Clean BC111HSB's commitment to mobility is evident through its portable design and approximate dimensions of D11.8 x W10.4 x H17.7 in. The handle adds to the BC111HSB convenience of transport.
With its lightweight construction, tipping the scales at only 14.9 lbs, this unit is a portable powerhouse for all your cleaning needs. Thanks in part to its plastic frame, it remains lightweight.
Main Features
Along with the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, a nozzle tip and a detergent addition feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the gun. The foam cannon features a dial to allow you to manually choose the detergent dilution ratio.
- Pressure hose: Utilizing a dedicated slot, the unit offers a convenient solution for storing the included 20 ft high-pressure hose when it's not in use, keeping it neatly organized.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzle: the following nozzle is included.

The AR Blue Clean BC111HSB's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- Among electric-powered pressure washers priced between $120 and $150, the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB with 1700 PSI achieves a lower pressure. If your priority is the highest possible power of the water stream, in this price range, we suggest checking out the Westinghouse ePX3100, which reaches up to 2300 PSI.
- At 1.7 GPM, this washer places at the top tier of the above-mentioned price range, delivering a significant amount of water. If you're looking for optimal debris removal capabilities, consider the Westinghouse ePX3100 as one of the top choices in this price range, with a flow rate of 1.76 GPM.
- With 1430 Cleaning Units, the BC111HSB is on the low end when compared to other similarly priced electric devices. If the highest overall cleaning power is a priority, the Goodyear GYE20V and its 3200 Cleaning Units are notable for their higher potential cleaning efficiency compared to units in the same price range.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other electric washers between 700 and 1800 Cleaning Units, the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this pressure washer nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of cleaning power.
